On a spring evening in Baltimore, the life of 21-year-old Andrew Morris, a Black male, was cut short. On April 16, 2013, Morris was shot and killed in an incident that also left another person wounded. The shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m. on the 3800 block of Clifton Avenue in the city's West Forest Park neighborhood.
When police arrived at the scene, they discovered Morris and a 20-year-old man, both suffering from gunshot wounds. Both victims were immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention. Tragically, Morris was pronounced dead by doctors shortly after his arrival. The second victim, whose identity was not publicly released, was treated for a gunshot wound to his leg and was expected to survive.
The investigation into the double shooting was launched immediately, with homicide detectives canvassing the area for witnesses and evidence. However, details regarding the circumstances leading up to the shooting, a potential motive, or any description of a suspect or suspects were not readily available in the initial aftermath. Information regarding any arrests, charges, or the progression of the case remains elusive in publicly accessible online records. The case of Andrew Morris's death is a stark reminder of the gun violence that has plagued the city of Baltimore.
